Should I stop giving my daughter lunch money ?

I just found out she never eats lunch and she's been saving up the money to buy things like false nails, thongs, crop tops, padded bras and other things I won't buy for her. She's only 11. She'll skip breakfast and just drink coffee, not eat anything all day at school, get home at 5 and eat whatever I've cooked, then she'll stay up at night and cook things like ramen noodles, tomato soup and things like that. I can I put a stop to this!? She's too young to be living such an un-wholesome lifestyle.

Updated 3 days ago:

She's actually her first year in secondary school.

    11?

    You let her drink coffee?

    Does she have an Eating Disorder?

    Sounds like it.

    Not joking, she is taking money for food and buying things to look better, she doesn't eat much?

    Hopefully she isn't throwing up the meals she does eat?

    That is a mental disorder and may require professional help?

    Mentioning it to her will most likely only make it worse.

    How long has this been going on?

    How is she getting access to these things? Do you not punish her? I feel as though the average child wouldn't dare do reckless things like this unless they had uncaring parents

    Stop giving her lunch money. PACK a good lunch for her .. buy thermos containers for hot or cold items. Send her to school with a good lunch.

    Have a sit down with her and tell her that you are concerned that she is not getting appropriate nutrition and adequate sleep. I wouldn't get into what time she does what, but tell her she needs eight hours of sleep out of 24, and should have a minimum of 1,800 calories a day, including protein, some carbs, and green veggies. Find our if you give her an allowance in addition to her lunch money, if she will have some nutrition between 6:00AM and 4:00 PM. She would benefit by spacing out her meals.

    Don't try to exert too much control. Rather ask her to participate in a plan that will give her adequate healthy nutrition and give her a modest allowance to buy the girly things 11 year olds need.

    Why would you even stop to ask anyone??? Cut her off!! No more money. Make her take a bag lunch. And while you are at it, you had better have a serious come to Jeebus meeting with that kid about where all this padded bra and crop top foolishness is going, and start getting rules in place regarding where she is allowed to go and who she goes with.

    Give her a packed lunch instead.
